- >you are Joey
- >its been a few days since Rick used the lemon on Grimace and made Agua eat his shit
- >now you’re nursing his newest victim
- >Hans was trying to make a fluffy version of Colgate but the stallion refused to cooperate
- >Hans went to the limit of his disciplinary skills which was the “sorry stick” but the fluffy was stubborn
- >you told Hans to go to you first with any fluffy problems but you were sadly in town getting lunch with Hailey
- >so with no other options he turned to Rick
- >all the pregnant dams and mares with foals in the breeding rooms began to whimper and hide their foals behind them when Rick entered
- >he offered the stallion one warning but it still blew a raspberry at him
- >Rick being a master of fluffy torture went out to his van and retrieved four flat head thumb tacks
- >he found a soft skin part on each hoof and pushed the thumb tack in
- >to a human it would hurt but only enough to make us say ow, by fluffy standards its like nails in our feet
- >the fluffy shrieked in pain but the worst came when he placed it on the floor
- >it hopped around from hoof to hoof throughout the breeding room and the whole pen room shrieking “why hoofsies owies? Why hoofsies huwt fwuffy?! Pwease hoofsies, fwuffy sowwy!”
- >Rick removed the tacks only after the fluffy promised to mate the mare
- >you now sit with the injured fluffy whimpering in your lap with its hooves in the air
- >you apply small amounts of disinfectant and then a band aid to each area
- >you stroke his mane for a bit then ask if he’s feeling better
- >he nods and you give him a hug then return him to his pen
- >the door opens and you see your boss Mark standing there
- >”Rick do something?” he ask
- “yeah, nothing I couldn’t handle”
- >”well good, no need for broken tools” he says
- “why do you let Rick do this?
- >”Rick doesn’t kill them Joey, not here at least, I’d fire him in a second if he killed one of our handpicked breeders or a customer’s order. But these things need discipline, otherwise I have no use for them.”
- >Mark doesn’t hate fluffies, but he doesn’t like them either.
- >he started this business all on his own, says he bought the building for just a $100 from the landowner and spent only $150 more setting up the facility
- >now he makes a pretty lucrative living off of special orders and pretty, well behaved fluffies
- >Mark ran the place by himself for 2 years until he hired you and Rick on the same day
- >you didn’t like Rick then either
- >now Mark sits in his office taking care of paper work and training the special orders
- >”speaking of which have you seen Rick?” he asks
- “he stepped out for a smoke”
- >”ah alright, talk to ya later Joey” he says closing the door
- >you and hailey care about the guys, Hans is like Mark and is just in it for the money
- >Though Hans actually does take a lot of pride in his breeding, and he is amazing at it
- >you really cant wait to see how this cutie mark crusaders order turns out
- >Hans is also a brony, he monitors all pony boards to see of any new developments
- >the thing that really makes the business is when people want a fluffy of their “OC pony”
- >Mark charges them $100 for an OC and his usual extra $50 for potty and manners training, also $20 if they want his patented “My First Fluffy” kit
- >Hans then looks at a picture of their OC the gets to work, surprisingly he is 95% of the time successful, its incredible how he does it
- >he often helps Rick with rounding up strays to see if their fit for breeding
- >which is probably why Mark was looking for him
- >you are Rick
- >smoking a cig wishing your job didn’t suck while Hans crouches next to you on his phone listening to music
- >you hear the front door opens and you see Mark step out
- >”hey Rick, got a call of a herd downtown. You and Hans head down and take care of it”
- “You got it Rick”
- >You finish your cig and tap Hans on the shoulder and head for your van
- >you arrive at the spot where you got the call, and old run down factory
- >this palce is rarely used so you don’t know why the city called it in and but don’t care, its fluffy time
- >you go to the last known location and follow the scattered turds from there
- >you cant drive any further and cant leave the van behind so you return to the street and drive looking down the alleys
- >Hans pats you on the shoulder and you see them, chewing on some grass growing up through the sidewalk between two building
- >roughly twenty of them
- >you back the van up to the front of the alley and you and Hans hop out
- >you only need 4 things, 2 fences and two boxes
- >the fences are those “kid fences” that parents put in doorways to keep their babies or toddlers from getting out of a room
- >you bought a whole lot more and connected them so they could stretch across an alley
- >Hans grabs on and takes off for the other side of the alley
- >the fluffies noticed the van backing up but instead of running they formed their typicals barrier to protect their mares and foals
- >Hans leaps the herd and sets up the barrier behind them while you set yours up just behind the van
- >now to find the…
- >”Go ‘way munstas! Dis smawty’s hewd!”
- >Found him, a purple unicorn with a pink mane
- >you look behind Hans and see an open dumpster
- “Hey Hans, what’s in that dumpster?”
- >Hans takes a quick jog back to the dumpster and replies “broken glass”
- >perfect
- >in you van of fluffy hell you take out a bottle of lemon juice and one of those giant salt container things (fuck I don’t know their name, the Morton salt things)
- “Hey Hans, do me a favor and pour these in there”
- >you toss the two items and he looks at them, gives a “yikes!” look and does as you asked
- >he dashes back over and returns them to you
- >”smawty gif biggest ouchies if munstas no- AHH!!” he shrieks as you pick him up by his horn
- >you hold him like a football (‘merican style) and judge the distance
- >50 yards maybe, not hard, you weren’t starting quarterback 2 years in a row for nothing
- >”pwease no huwt fwuffy! Fwuffy sowwy! Be gud! Pwease no EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!” he cries as he flies through the air
- >he soars until he hits the lid propped against the wall with an “ouchies” then falls into the bin
- >after about 3 seconds you hear glass shifting as the smarty thrashes around screaming “OWWIES! HUWTIES! BAD HUWTIES! SMAWTY SOWWY! PWEASE SAVE SMAWTY! AHHHH!!!!!”
- >eventually the lid falls down on the bin and his creams become muffled
- >his whole herd is in shock, shaking and whimpering/murmuring with fright
- “Anyone else wanna join him?”
- >they turn to you with fear in their eyes
- “I didn’t think so, Hans you’re up”
- >you pick up the first fluffy and hand it to Hans
- >he does his regular check, first comes colors, are they attractive, bright, catchy, do they bear any resemblance to any MLP ponies?
- >if they pass appeal then comes health: eyes, teeth, fluff, age, injuries, diseases
- >the ones who pass goes in Mark’s box, rejects go in your box
- >the first one is lucky, and goes in your box
- >”Color scheme is unattractive and she’s missing her two front teeth” is Hans diagnosis, handing the fluffy to you, which you quickly drop in your box
- >Hans picks up another fluffy, who lets out and “owwies!”
- >these things are pussies but that was a yelp of physical pain
- >Hans puts it down and watches it return to the herd
- >an obvious limp in its back right foot
- >Hans picks it back up resulting in another “owwies!” as he begins to feel the fluffys back-right side
- >”Feels like two broken lower ribs and upper right leg break as well. While the mane is a good shade of shamrock I see no use for this one” he says handing it to you
- >you drop it in your box with an audible crack, followed by the biggest OWWIES yet
- >Hans then picks up a mare, bright pink with a dark blue mane
- >he checks her health and she passes
- >another step with mares is you have no clue if they’ve been knocked up recently or not, since they don’t begin to show for at least a week and a ½ -2 weeks
- >from his bag he takes out a fluffy pregnancy test from Hasbio called “fiwst wesponse” smart ass bastards
- >Hans holds the mare by her stomach region and the test under her, giving her a gentle squeeze and an “ouchies” from her the mare begins to pee
- >after 20 seconds the result is in “she’s bred” he says
- >Hans stares at her for almost half a minute rubbing his chin until he says “she’s in good health and has a good color scheme, at least one of her foals will be worth something”
- >he hands you the fluffy and you gently put her in Mark’s box
- >you hear a something that catches your attention
- >not a fluffy noise but almost a jingle
- >its coming from a light blue fluffy with a mint green mane
- >she cowers as you reach for her
- >you gently scoop her up and brush her neck fluff away
- >sure enough a bell collar, with a number on it, to a ms. Pam Iverson
- “hey Hans, keep going we got an escapee here”
- >you can tell because most abandoners take the collar off, so no one can return it to them
- >you call the number and her a woman’s voice on the other end “hello?”
- “Ms. Iverson? This is Rick Sampson, I work for the Fluff Shack breeding company. I have her a fluffy with a collar with your name and number on it”
- >”oh thank God, you found Minty! Oh thank you so much, where are you? Should I meet you somewhere?”
- “That’s not necessary ma’am your address is on the collar, we’ll stop by in about 30 minutes and drop her off”
- >”thank you so much! Thank you!”
- “Its no trouble miss, we’ll be there soon”
- >you hang up and reach into your lunchbox
- >you pull out a cookie and place in in front of minty in the back of your van
- “stay still, and you don’t get hurt”
- >after 20 minutes only 7 of about 20 fluffies passed the test
- >13 whimpering fluffies sit in your bin, unaware of their soon to be fate
- >you drive to Minty’s owners home to drop her off
- >the woman, about your average fresh out of college babe, is overjoyed at her return
- >you refuse a reward and go on your way, its good for PR
- >you stop by your apartment complex before you go back
- >and by your apartment complex it really is YOUR apartment complex
- >you own the whole building expect no one besides you lives there, you and about 50 fluffies
- >a building that could hold about 6 people has been completely cleared except your bedroom
- >all other room hold cages that hold fluffies
- >you walk upstairs with your box of rejects to the main room
- >a room with about a 15 foot ceiling and is about the size of a boxing ring
- >with a 10 foot high octagon in the middle
- >you pour your bin of rejects into a cage and walk back to the van
- >you cant wait for tonights fluffy matches with the guys
